Leeds International Festival of Ideas 2022 certainly made its mark in the city, with an audience in excess of 2,500 in attendance to listen to the debates and join in the conversation on an array of topics.

Taking over the Howard Assembly Room and neighbouring Mantle Music Suite, the festival presented 34 speakers over 11 events and demonstrated its continued popularity and appeal in drawing people into the heart of the city.

Yotam Ottolenghi, Aisling Bea, David Olusoga and Christopher Wylie, to name just a few, were among the notable speakers at the festival, which once again presented current ideas and themes to be explored. Watch the highlights film here.
